"It’s impossible to have a bad meal at this French-influenced bistro. Sure, you can have a tasting menu with poached mussels and seared duck, but you can also get a big meaty burger loaded with caramelized onions. On hot days you can cool off with some happy hour oysters; on chilly evenings you can warm yourself with a bowl of deeply savory French onion soup. Even brunch — a meal some places phone in — is loaded with delights like huckleberry clafoutis and apple fritters. And then there’s the extensive cocktail menu, which is heavy on the Chartreuse — a nod both to Le Coin’s French influences and Seattle cocktail history." - Harry Cheadle
